I was watching Tweety make an ass of himself in his interview with PA gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf.

judged on P&L, a lot of people are left out. States are NOT corporations. Sadly, there are a lot of fucken idiots.

i don't want the government run like a business. Business is run for one reason only and that is to make profit for shareholders business does not function to solve any problems or benefit society. Why people hold up business leaders as being capable of running a government makes no sense to me

just found out that Turner Network has pulled their stations from DISH! I'm techy challenged so didn't have time to figure out another way to watch.

Really wanted to watch, and YES Rick Scott is a very "weird" looking person. I've always called him "the alien" but he's been called Governor Skelator and other names that refer to alien type creatures. Saw him in person once, wasn't able to get up close, but he certainly has a strange "aura" and really doesn't communicate well. He's Jebby's guy and has BIG MONEY and BIG PEOPLE pushing hard for him. Heard Christie, Paul Ryan, Bobby Jindal and other big name Repukes coming to the city up thew road from me! But it's a bastion of Repukes anyway. BUT, I did just read that Crist has raised more money in this area than Scott. That's almost unbelievable, this county is ruby red!

... "Have you ever seen a less appealing political figure than Rick Scott?"

No, Chris. No we have not. He comes across like some kind of malevolent animatronic creature.

Acts like one, too.

Blerg.

Glad to see the reaction to the debate shows a big loss for Scott.
